Reader

This week’s readings have been very intriguing, start off
with the “7 Myths about Physical Activity”. All of the myths that were
discussed in this article I have heard over and over again from numerous of
people, who tend to believe in it. The last myth was the most relatable, which
was “If I can’t meet the physical activity guidelines then there is no sense of
exercising at all”. I have personally used this as an excuse to not exercise,
and to be honest it was all out of laziness. The myth I was surprised about the
most was myth 6 which said “The benefits of physical activity are only seen
after weeks of regular exercise”. This myth shapes my whole workout process,
and that is why I barely workout, because I feel like since it is going to take
so long for people to actually see that I have been working out then what’s the
point. But this article actually informs us that the benefits of a single
workout are seen hours after the workout, which I and probably a lot of people
are not aware off. If a lot of people were informed about this then maybe they
will not be discouraged to workout. After reading these articles, I will be
working out more often now.
